LIfe-Style Factors Related to Psychiatric Disordres After Acute Coronary Syndrome

Acute coronary syndrome (ASC) has numerous consequences, including to literature data, most common psychiatric disorders among patients with ACS are depressive, anxiety or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of our study was to explore the relationship between life-style factors (body mass index, lipid levels, physical activity, cigarette snmoking, and alcohol consumption) and development of psychiatric disorders one month and six months after ACS. The follow-up study consist of 3 phase: a) first phase (stable somatic status after ACS), b) second phase (one month after ACS), a nd c) third phase (6 months after ACS). Age and sex adjusted subjects with ACS were screened by a cardiologist. Psychiatrist excluded existence of previous and actual mental disorders in the first phase. Subjects were contacted and retested after one month and after six months. First phase compared 120 subjects, second phase 80 and third phase 56 subjects. One month after ACS 22 (27.5%) of the subjects had acute stress disorder (ASD) and 13.8% had major depressive disorder (MDD). After six months 15 (37.5%) subjects had PTSD and 12 (27.3%) had MDD. Our results showed that cardiovascular disorders can caue anxious and depressive disorders among frequent alcohol consumers and physically inactive individuals. So, depression, anxiety, physical inactivity, and alcohol consumption cannot only be considered as risk factors for cardiovascular disorders, but should also be regarded as a consequence of cardiovascular disorders.
